Do You Really Know God?

Matthew; 7:13-14
("Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.)

The wide gate is the most popular because it offers many ways to eternal life. The wide gate says that you can work your way into heaven, or you can earn your way in by your own righteousness. There are many different religions out there that deceive people into believing this lie. The Bible is perfectly clear that there is only one way to eternal life and that is through faith in Jesus Christ.
Ephesians; 2:8-9
(For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.)

Many people call themselves Christians and have not put their faith in Jesus Christ. They are living with a false sense of security thinking that they will be allowed into Heaven. Why? Because the world has told them that they can be good enough and be able to do enough works to earn their way in. This is the lie that satan wants everyone to believe. As long as you think your in by what you have done, then you are doomed. Pride in our lives has taught us that we don't need any help, we can do it on our own. If that were true, then Jesus would not have had to come down to earth and die in our place for sin.

How do we know if we truly know God?
1John; 2:3-5
(Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He who says , "I know Him," and does not keep his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoever keeps his word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him.)
If we belong to God we will want to be obedient to Him. Pleasing our heavenly Father will be a priority in our daily walk. We will be in the Word of God and learning what His will is for us.

If you haven't come to Jesus for Salvation, do it today. Confess that you are a sinner in need of a Savior (Jesus Christ). Repent of your sins and ask Jesus for forgiveness. Ask Him to come into your life and be Lord and Savior. Tell Him that you know He is the Son of God, that He came down and died for your sins, and that you are putting your faith in Him for eternal life
Romans; 10:8-10
(But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.)

God Bless You!
